Everest Book Two: The Climb
When Dominic recovered , he was helping the sherpa's. The sherpas carry and lift bags for the climbers. Dominic was the youngest , but he was by far the strongest. When Dominic started up the mountain, he could feel the altitude changing. The weather is very harsh, it can get to minus sixty-six degrees. The suns rays are so strong, they had to wear sunscreen. When they reached camp four, Cap Cicero was listening to the radio to see if any teams had made it to the top. He heard a weird noise, it was Ethan Zaph's sherpa, Lansang. Ethan Zaph is the youngest person to ever reach the summit. Lansang said that Nestor, the journalist, was unconscious, but Ethan wanted to continue his climb. Ethan's team was trying to climb Everest without oxygen masks.
Many climbers make poor decisions when they don't have enough oxygen in their brains.
That meant, Dominic, Sammi, Tilt and Perry would have to save Ethan and Nestor.Once they found them, Ethan was in the death zone with no oxygen. They strapped oxygen masks on and headed down. Perry noticed Nestor didn't have any crampons on his feet. Crampons are razor sharp shoes that climbers wear to have more traction. They realized that they were stuck in his back. When they pulled the crampons out, he screamed.
When they arrived at camp four, Cap Cicero and Dr. Oberman were waiting in the tent. Dr. Oberman took Nestor down to camp two and eventually back to the city to recover.
At the end, Nestor is okay. Tilt confesses that he was spreading the news and everybody is okay.
If you like suspense, action, drama and adventure, then you will like the Everest series. After I read the first book, I was looking forward to reading Book Two:The Climb. I really liked Everest Book Two:The Climb. It is action packed, drama filled and one of the most intense books I have ever read.

The Ear, The Eye, and The Arm
Hoot
Meg's story is about a girl who is 13 years old she has 3 other sisters named Jo,Beth,and Amy.Meg's parents aren't the richest people around in fact they pretty much are really poor.Jo is selfish but Meg has to learn how to live with her.Beth is really caring she loves the outdoors and doesn't like it when people are sad.Amy is the shyest of them all she always wants another doll to play with; she is also the youngest of the group!Meg is my favorite not just because she has the same name as me but because i love how she holds all of her sisters together because without Meg Jo,Beth,and Amy would be fighting all the time!
Meg sometimes feels unappreciated because she feels like its always up to her to do the right thing when she thinks her sisters should amke the right decision for themselves.Jo says Meg is just over reacting but in my opinion i agree with Meg!Beth always trys to do stuff on her own but sometimes it hard because she is still very young and its hard for her to go to her mom for advice because her mom is always busy with something and her dad is always at work!Amy is the youngest and she will always need someone to look up to;and Meg does not want that person to be Jo because she just doesn't think her sister has the responsible side.So Meg has to be in charge but the part that i love about this book is they stick together like glue!!!
So go ahead and read this book i loved and so will you!

I recomend this book 100 %. I love the series and so will you, but you will have to read the first book to get the last book and all the books before this one. Their is also a movie on it about the first three books that can give you an idea on what you might be reading. The author is so mysterious and a good writer to! I hope you read this book and the whole series too!

Point Blank
Point Blank was amazing! It was so good that when I looked at the book, I immediately had to read it. This book has an ending that you would never expect. I recommend this book for people who like exciting and fun to read books. If you like Stormbreaker, you will love Point Blank! Jonathan
The Ear, the Eye, and the Arm
This book is interesting and has parts where you can't put it down. it is very action packed and has some parts that are hard to understand. But I would still recommend it to anyone that wants to read a good book.
Alice In Wonderland
If you want to read a different book for a change, this would be the book! My favorite character was the strange cat, because it would really cool to disappear and reappear! You could sneak up on your friends, and scare them! The cat could slowly disappear,so your head could be where people can see it, but your body would be gone! If you read this book I am sure you will like the book and the cat as much as I did!This book is by Lewis Carroll.

No Talking
This book is about a boy named Dave and a girl named Lynsey. Dave thinks girls talk way more than boys but Lynsey thinks boys talk way more than girls. They decide to have a contest to see who talks the most, boys or girls in the 5th grade. The contest would last for two days. Soon the whole 5th grade knew about the contest. The rules were you can't talk to teachers unless they ask you a question but you must respond in three words or less, you are not allowed to talk at home, and every extra word you use would count against you. Dave would keep track of the boys mistakes and Lynsey would keep track of the girls. When the contest started it was going fine except the teachers were getting suspicious because the 5th grade was know for talking and if they just stop talking every one notices. the three word answers were getting annoying to the teachers they thought it disrupted their classes. The principal did not like this game at all she thought it was better for them to talk. She called a meeting right before lunch with the 5th grade. She told them it must be put to an end. At lunch they were still not talking so she was mad. Soon Dave got called to the office. When he got there the principal was not mad at all she was happy. Dave did not understand what was going on. The principal had turned out to like the no talking thing so she only called Dave to her office to say thank you. In the end it ended as a tie.
I really like this book. I have always like Andrew Clements books for soon reason they just entertain me. it was like you were in the story and a part of no talking. The only thing is you kind of know whats going to happen next sometimes. I hope you read this book.

Trickster's Choice
Aly is sixteen and wants to be a spy for her father, but just because she wants it doesn't mean she'll get it. She tries to get her mother to side with her only to have her explode in anger, so she decides to take her ship, The Cub, to a friend's house by the coast. Unfortunately, she never gets there because she is kidnapped by pirates and sold as a slave. She is lucky because she is sold to the Balitang family who is nicer towards their slaves. The family is sent into exile by their crazed king, King Oron, and Aly makes a deal. The trickster Kyprioth is a raka god and was thrown from his throne as the ruler of the Copper Isles by his sibling gods. He tells Aly if she can keep this family safe for the summer he will send her home, she is but a pawn in his greatest trick ever.
I think this book was one of the books I just am always eager to read. I really liked the type of book with all the things that made it different. It was suspenseful at parts, but it changed very quickly. The plot was complicated and at times confusing, but very well thought out. All in all this book was wonderful and very interesting to read.

New Moon is another love story that is in the same series as Twilight.There are 3 people in this story who have a major secret their names are Bella,Jacob,and Edward.Edward's secret is that he is a vampire and when you are a vampire you stay the same age your whole life so you never get older nor younger.And Edward's dad (also a vampire) can't pass by as 32 much longer so they have to move and Edward feels bad about cause he has feelings for Bella as does she.Jacob's secret is that he is a werewolf and werewolfs only have 1 enemy and that is the vampire and since he is good friends with Bella he can't stand to be with her when Edward is.Bella's secret is that she is in love with Edward but she can't tell anybody who he really is or he could be in danger but its to late cause Jacob and Edward already are!!!
Since Edward had to tell Bella the bad news she has been heart broken and keeps hearing his voice in her mind.But ever since Edward has left Bella has been going out with Jacob.When Jacob and Bella get in a fight she starts thinking that he is not acting like the Jacob she knew and she didn't like the new Jacob he had become.She started to think he was he was getting bigger every time she saw him and she thought he was in a gang with a boy named Sam Uley who she doesn't like at all. But it turns out he wasn't in a gang he was in a pack!
Bella couldn't understand why he was acting so weird so she was finally brave enough to ask him herself .When she did he blew up on her he said i'm not even supposed to be near you Bella.She didn't understand.He was screaming saying i just want to be regular but I won't be ever again i used to be a regular kid just like you but it doesn't matter anymore cause its all over!Bella could hardly understand what he was talking about she wanted to know but Edward's voice was in her head telling her to just let Jacob cool down before you ask him that question.But Bella didn't listen and said you are being ridiculous!
she couldn't stand what he was saying but then that night she had a dream of him telling her he was a werewolf and then she sees Edward saying run Bella RUN! Bella couldn't cause she had gone into shock as she saw Jacob transforming into a creature!She woke up screaming that night not knowing what hit her.But she asked Jacob if he was the next day and it turns out he was.Now she knows he can run fast and she thought that werewolfs were bad but there not they try to save inisent people from vampire bites and more.
She learns that she has to trust Sam now cause he is a werewolf too plus she cannot get mad at Jacob cause when Jacob gets mad he transforms.She meets all of his werewolf friends and she has a fun time but Jacob has now just told her that they are trying to get this one vampire dead her name is Victoria and she is after Bella after Edward killed James in Twilight she is going after Bella now.Jacob has to protect Bella cause he loves her and doesn't want to see her get hurt.One day she realizes she can't stand the fact she might not ever see Edward again but she knows she is going to have to live with it.
When Bella starts heading home after a long day with Jacob she notices sounds coming from inside her house (LOUD noises)she wonders if its her dad inside but he never really has ever made that much noise before and so she starts running up the drive way and sees a little peice of hair on her front porch it was red hair and then the fact popped up in her head Victoria is in her house.Do you want to see if Bella survives through this.Well then read the book yourself but read the first book before otherwise you won't get the book at all!
